Got into a small fender bender 2 nights ago..and my headlamp popped out, breaking the clips that hold it in I still have the pieces that go into the clips though. I know I either need a new headlamp or I can try to rig something up to hold it in there til I do get a new one..has anyone ever had to do that before? But the only thing I'm really worried about right now is where my turn signal went.
This is all I have left of it


Does anyone know where I can get the piece that connect to that which fits inside the headlamp? I think I have an extra bulb laying around so I don't think I'll need that..just not sure what the piece is called :/

I'll bet RockAuto.com carries them. LateModelRestoration might carry them too, but their shipping it high if you're not placing a decent sized order.

i dont think my car has that kind of plug?

Advance will have them...not in their stock usually but we can overnight it and worse case senerio 2 days out...i've had to order a crap ton of those sockets (thats what the part in the system is called btw..)

Anyone know where to buy the clips to hold the headlight in? Not trying to thread jack, but i've been looking for some for a little while.

Theyre called headlight retainer clips, I saw a 4 pack somewhere online for less than $20..
But thanks to all that gave their input, but I found the bulb socket with the bulb still in it still works too lol.
But I have another problem, drove my car home today and the tire went flat after a few hours..in my accident I hopped a curb and my rim is a little bent but I didnt think with the very minor damage to it that is what is causing it, so hopefully with your thoughts it will just be the tire.
Pics:



Honestly its probably bent away from the seam less than 1/2 inch
Thanks!!

time for new wheels..even if it's not the cause of the leak...it's most likely warped at this point...been there done that when i slid into a curb..blew out the driver side tires and bent a wheel like that...thanks to CL i found GT stockers for cheap and the problem was solved...if i was you i'd start looking on CL

yeah the seal might of held during that time and now it's decided it doesn't want to...cheapest fix is to go to a junk or salvage yard and find a replacement 15" wheel...that's about all you can do since it would cost around the same to have a wheel refinished..and that looks to far gone as is

r 99-04 GT stock rims size 15?

[xi KRON1C ix]

no they are 17x8's...you have 15's....the cheapest way out is to just buy another tri-wheel like you have now...the next cheapest way that will also make the car look better is to find some GT stockers

Just be glad you haven't got those rims that you really want before this accident happened... Keep checking CL... You might find some stock bullitts there for cheap!
